Jérome Paillard with Bruno Chatelin (FILMFESTIVALS.COM) and Jon Gosier (FILMHEDGE) on his Cannes tribute

This year’s edition of Karlovy Vary IFF will pay tribute to Jérôme Paillard, the long-time executive director of Marché du Film. Paillard joined Marché in 1995 and significantly expanded its global scale. He is the founder of the Cinando.com database and Ventana Sur, the most important market for audiovisual content in Latin America, which he runs with Bernard Bergeret. A few weeks ago, Paillard stepped down as a director of Marché du Film after twenty-seven years.

At the Karlovy Vary festival, a 1993 film The Flood produced by Paillard will be screened as a part of the tribute. Paillard will introduce the film in person.
